WHEREAS, Assurant, Inc. (the “Company”) currently maintains the Plan;

WHEREAS, pursuant to Article 8 of the Plan, the Assurant, Inc. Benefit Plans Committee (the “Committee”) has the authority to amend the Plan, unless the amendments would significantly increase the Company’s liabilities for the Plan; and

WHEREAS, the Committee wishes to make various changes to the Plan regarding related employers, and the Committee has determined that such amendments will not significantly increase the Company’s liabilities for the Plan.

NOW THEREFORE, the Committee amends the Plan as follows:

1.

Effective as of January 1, 2009, Section 4.03 of the Plan is amended in its entirety to read as follows:

“3.02 Eligibility to Receive 401(k) Benefits. In order to be eligible to be credited with a 401(k) Benefit under this Plan, a Participant must be (i) actively employed by an Employer on the last regularly scheduled workday of the Plan Year, (ii) have terminated employment during such Plan Year on account of Retirement, Disability, or death, (iii) have transferred to a Related Employer, or (iv) met the requirements applicable to any other reason deemed appropriate by the Committee.”

Effective as of January 1, 2009, Article 11 of the Plan is modified by the addition of a definition of the term “Related Employer,” after the existing definition of the term “Plan Year,” to read as follows:
